·I just upgraded to this stackable watch box. It makes it really easy to get it in and out of the safe. I purchased it on Amazon. It's Wolf brand and under $70 if you buy both trays at one time.
Perfect for holding the Speedmaster Decades Collection. 😀
How do you like the stacking box? I think i like it because you can keep adding (for an ever expanding collection 😉 but I’m unsure if I want to commit yet... I am considering the Wolf brand 10 watch box with drawer

I like it because I can easily get it in and out of the safe. My 10 watch holder case had to be slanted a bit to get in and out and it was more of a hassle, plus it did not fit all my watches, so I had some watches in another box. With the stacking trays, I really like that I can easily move the watches around so that I keep the ones I most often wear in one tray. And as you mention, the other draw for me is I can easily expand with another tray. I thought I would be able to use my 10 watch holder and pair down, but this is not reality, so I bought the two tray stacking system. More realistically, I can hopefully get away with a 3rd tray, but that still may not be realistic. So maybe a 4th tray... you get the idea.
There is a opening on the rear, I have no idea what is it. Does anyone know?
The trays are pretty decent quality given the price. Fits the Speedmasters well, but a little tight for the Ploprofs.

·Hi guys,
I am thinking of asking MrsCanberra for a funky watch box for my birthday. Not a mass produced one, but more of an artistic one, like

Do you have any cool artistic watch boxes?

·Ok, after getting a bit hacked off with a (seemingly reputable and well established) watch box seller on amazon advertising damaged or out if stock items. Can anyone suggest a good brand of watch box? Ideally one that holds 12. I was after something similar to the Rapport Captain’s box. I have a couple of chepo Wolf winders and they are ok. But not that impressive and I’ve seen a few of their simple watch storage boxes and the ‘pillows’ are v small and boxes did not impress me that much tbh. Rapport seem to have discontinued their ‘12 watch’ boxes so maybe I’ll just have to buy two smaller capacity units.
Any other options out there. Ideally available in the UK.
Many thanks.

·I am thing to buy one of these boxes. Can you make a picture with watches inside, open and close?
I ask because I bought a Beco Box and the cover could not be closed when watches were inside the box. 😲
Away at the moment so can’t take any pics, but in terms of size/depth there are no issues closing the lid. I have some large (thick) watches - including a Planet Ocean Chrono which causes no problems. So unless you have something freakishly big then you should be fine.

I’m a big fan of Smythson but it ain’t half expensive, helps I don’t live too far from their Bicester outlet store but still. I’m always curious how many ‘new and unused’ Smythson watch rolls are on eBay, they must be fake.
I have a Wolf Windsor on bedside table but I’m forever catching our lad with his grubby fingers in there so the good stuff lives in a Pelican case in the safe!
Edit: just realised my post is a bit off topic, apologies.
